economic vs environmental

hold your fire, but i'm not particularly concerned about environmental practices in the home. i have no care for sustainable this and sustainable that, water saving shower heads are definitely not preferred and i'll use as many damn paper towels as i want.

what i do care about is my money and how i spend it. apparently leaving appliances on standby uses a fair bit of power; especially televisions, game consoles, stereos and the like. clamouring behind tv cabinets a few times a day to save a few dollars a month on a power bill might not seem that appealing but could be worthwhile.



worthwhile enough to spend $70 on a power board? plug in your highest power sucking appliances and individually turn them on or off at the wall by remote control. i guess over the course of it's life the savings would let it pay for itself (and them some) and if it's doing good for the environment that's fine by me.
